Solved on fontid.co.

Upper case should be more narrow (higher given same width), than lower case. The rest can be set with kerning and tracking.

Thank you so much. I've tried it out in my working file, and it's either an exact math or very very close. Since the expertise is available, what about the titles on the sample page? It appears that it is in the same font family, because in other pages, the same B/D/I serifs appear. But it is narrower. Is there a narrow version of Orator perhaps? Or does anyone know of a narrow-styled font that would be a pretty close match? (In this case I'd rather get the narrowness of the style if I can't get both that and the unique use of only three letters with serif.)

Looks like the smaller font is probably written on an IBM Selectric typewritter (Orator family), the conversion can be found here. The 'Butter Mold' text is most likely handwritten. The closest font I can find is Amaro.

Where is the scan from?

Looks like Eklips.

Tough one, I fear. Looking to conclusively identify the attached sans. Seen it used in *tons* of mid-century advertising – some notable features include: two-story a straight-sided M one-stroke 1 no-tail t angle-cut C Has some similarities to Metro, Futura, Spartan, Universe, Intervogue, Kabel, Twentieth Century, etc. — but they're not exact matches. I'd love help identifying the real foundry typeface (even if not digitized) and of course a very close modern digitization if one exists. Thanks in advance, hive mind!

I have a cookbook that was written by an aunt that was printed in 1984. I am creating a digital version of it from photos I took of each page. I'm planning on creating two versions. First, an "original" edition that comes as close to the original as possible. And then an updated and annotated one. Can anyone help identify a font that would be close to the one used for the ingredients and cooking instructions? It appears that only the capital letters B, D, and I had serifs. And it was set in a style that can be pretty well matched using sentence case and small caps. But I haven't spotted any fonts that are close to the one originally used. Can anyone provide suggestions of font names that would approximate the style? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Here is a sample page:

Would love to know what this is

Looks like a match! Thanks Kevin 🙂

Hi, looking for ideas on this headline font from Australian Brand's GIO `Protect Precious' Campaign. I've not seen this one before, thoughts appreciated!

Not a font. That said, Figgins Tuscan could be an OK substitute for the caps. You could also find something useable in the catalogues of specialised foundries like Letterhead or Greater Albion.

Looking for a font used in an old confectionery sign called bonaci premier in malta from around 1890s.

Marking as solution (close enough).

The new version still has the old |a| and |U| as alternates.

That's because they substituted the U glyph for the V, which is read as a V in this context. A bit of horizontal condensing was applied after the initial typesetting.

Not sure about this one, the V in the ident doesn't line up.

The old version of Xirod.

These screenshots came from the station idents and the Milionarul[.]ro lottery hosted by ex-president Traian Basescu, and were sourced from Logopedia and YouTube screencaps. My particular screenshot of the lottery came from this video by Living Ironically in Europe, timestamp 19:58: That video should tell you everything you need to know about OTV. Thank you, and i await your reply.

Thank you Kevin, I appreciate that!

Sorry, not finding a match. Given that this is a company logo, it may well be custom. Attaching a cleaner image of the type in case anyone else has better luck with it:

I think it’s a modified Molot.
